In a 2001 radio interview, Barack Obama spoke about failures of the Warren court during the civil rights movement. He said ...generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties (what government cant do to you, not what it must do on your behalf). He lamented that the Supreme Court never ventured into redistribution of wealth and political and economic justice in society.

Hundreds of years ago, the founders saw Obama coming and intentionally limited intrusive federal powers like these in the Constitution. Read Frederic Bastiats The Law at (bastiat.org/en/the_law.html). Learn why we have laws and why socialism must inevitably degenerate into communism.

Obama dislikes not having a federal mandate to do to you. Joe Knoedler (02-22-12) thinks Obama should have that power and characterizes him as ...someone who understands the middle class and will fight for...me and my future family...

The US Constitution is a completely alien concept to obama. He has no idea how it works, what rules he must abide by, or what limitations it puts upon him and the executive branch. in other words, obama behaves like someone who wasn’t born or raised in the US.
